[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45935] Ctrl+C doesn't break procedure

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #45935 (project octave):

The way interrupts work in Octave is that they are supposed to set a global
value to indicate whether an interrupt has happened and then Octave
periodically checks the value of the global value to see whether it should
stop processing and return to the prompt.

Looking at samin.cc from the optim package, it doesn't appear to check the
status of the global interrupt variable.  I'm surprised you are ever able to
interrupt it.

Are you able to interrupt something like


tic; sin (randn (8000, 8000)); toc


when using the GUI?  If so, then I think interrupts are working as expected
and the bug is in the samin function itself.
